Abstract
A frequency doubler for 200 GHz utilising a planar surface channel Sch ottky varactor was designed, constructed and tested. The doubler emplo yes novel split-waveguide mount design with two sliding back-shorts at both input and output waveguides. The theoretical maximum efficiency of the doubler is 44.0 % with input power level of 32 mW and the maxim um output power is 16.5 mW with input power level of 50 mW. The measur ed maximum efficiency of the doubler was 7.1 % and the maximum output power was 2.6 mW.
